A decades-old Rainbow Beach caravan park is gearing up for a major facelift with plans unveiled for an expansion that will include mini golf, pools and more campsites.

The owners of the Big4 Breeze Holiday Park, about 2km west of Rainbow Beach near the Carlo Point Marina, to expand its powered site offerings and increase the number of guests in can take.

The expansion would increase the park onto land originally carved out for subdivision as part of a rezoning in 1996.

If approved the overhaul will be carried out in seven stages.

The first will deliver a new amenities block and 15 new glamping tents.

The new development will remove dozens of unpowered campsites in favour of those with electricity, and install a range of new facilities to be built in the fifth of seven proposed stages of construction.

Stages two and three would open up 27 new caravan and tent camping sites, while stage four would include another amenities blocks and 20 more caravan or tent campsites.

The fifth stage would involve building a mini golf course, pools, trampoline, BBQ, a poolside cafe and a third amenities block.

The upgrade would allow the caravan park, located at Carlo Rd not far from the Carlo Point Marina, to increase its number of available campsites by almost 10 per cent, from 334 to 367.

The final stages would wrap the project up with 66 new caravan or tent sites, seven new cabins, and a fourth amenities block.

A total of 113 new powered camping sites would be created under the new layout, with the bulk of these coming at the expense of unpowered sites which would be slashed from 176 to 90.

In total this would increase the park’s number of available sites from 334 available sites to 367.

The largest slice of these will be powered caravan or tent sites, with 199 on offer under the new layout.

The cabins would be 51sq m in size to accommodate families, the report says.

It says the proposal would be a better use to the land than building houses on the areas earmarked for residential development, as doing so result in an “isolated and poorly serviced community”.
